CG Podcast: Choose Connection Over Fear with Michelle Tae

We’re raising daughters in a world that feels faster, louder, and more overwhelming than ever—and if we’re honest, it can stir up fear in us as moms. But what if we didn’t have to have all the answers? What if the goal wasn’t perfection, but presence?

In this episode of Courageous Girls, we sit down with Michelle Tae, a Courageous Girls mama, to talk about what it looks like to parent from a place of healing, honesty, and deep connection. Michelle shares vulnerably about her own story—how pain in her relationship with her mom shaped her fears of raising daughters, and how God has gently rewritten that story through community, consistency, and courage.

Together, we explore how creating intentional space—month after month—can transform not only our daughters’ lives, but our own. This conversation is a powerful reminder that we don’t need to keep up with the culture—we can root our girls in something deeper.

🔹 From fear to connection – How facing our own stories can open the door to deeper relationships with our daughters.

🔹 The power of consistency – Why showing up over time creates safety, trust, and lasting impact.

🔹 Navigating a fast-changing world – How to stay grounded as our girls face social media, AI, and growing up too quickly.

🔹 Emotions as a gift – Learning to feel, process, and model emotional health for the next generation.

With honesty and hope, Michelle reminds us that healing is possible, connection is worth the risk, and we are not alone in this journey. Let’s raise daughters who feel known and loved—and become women who live that way too.


Courageous Girls' motivation is to see a generation of women who are navigating trusted relationships, are confident in who God says He is and who He made them to be and are resiliently moving through the peaks and valleys of life. A generation of women who are rooted in grace and free from the performance-based treadmill we are enticed with every day.

CG answers this goal by providing clear and trusted Biblical, clinical and relational wisdom for moms. With the long-term goal in mind, lessons are created as building blocks and encouraged to unfold within community.

Not only does a CG community provide the perfect place to practice the art of relationship, but it also allows the moms to share the load which provides a diversity in leadership. All the while nurturing a trusted connection with the first model in a daughter’s life, her mom. 

Groups provide a safe place to focus on God’s word rather than the competing influences in the world. Instead of competition, comparison and judgment… groups strive to grow in gratitude, joy and acceptance. CG is an intentional choice to equip ourselves and our daughters to love others well and to live from a place of wholeness and grace.
